High Hopes: A Phillies Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

It’s not Phillies season without High Hopes! I never listened to podcasts and then I gave this one a try and now I don’t miss an episode. Fritz and Seltzer just get it, if you’re a diehard Phillies fan and want to listen to other diehards with good opinions, this is the show.

September 2024 update - the new opening theme song is hard to endure. Other than that, this has been my go to Phils pod for 5 years now!

Original review:

These guys have really renewed my interest in Phillies baseball. I listen to them almost every time I’m in the car and they do an awesome job keeping me in the know with my favorite sports team. Jack is a brilliant seamhead with great insight and James is the perfect sidekick to play off of Jack’s more logistical demeanor. I listened to several different Phils podcasts this year and, after finding High Hopes, those other shows aren’t on my download list any longer. Jack and James are all I need! Keep up the great work guys.

This is by far my favorite Phillies podcast out there. James and Jack have their finger on the pulse of what’s going on with this baseball team. They are authentic, life-long Phillies fans and it shows. The little sprinkles of sarcasm throughout the episodes makes it *chef’s kiss* for me. I’m always ecstatic when a new episode drops into my feed.

All he does is scream & clap into the mic making the audio unlistenable. You’re an adult, chill out with the clapping & screaming like a preteen boy. It makes the audio sound so bad

8/2/24 update - Wow so i left the above review a week ago. I try to give this podcast another go today. Within the first 3-5 minutes the man child James is screaming & bashing his counter making the audio literally hurt to listen to. I’ve never listened to a podcast that cares so little about their audio quality
